Barry joined the firm at inception in 2008.

Barry also has the distinction of being the areas only Dave Ramsey ELP (Endorsed Local Provider) for tax services, meeting the stringent grade set by the syndicated financial guru Dave Ramsey. Barry and his wife, Monica, have been married for 34 years. Except for a brief period of time, they are lifelong residents of Great Bend.

A lot of business clients come to us because they’ve been with a larger firm and they just feel like they are falling through the cracks. Every time there is a new staff person, that’s their contact and they don’t get to see the partner anymore that they started working with. They don’t feel like they are getting hands-on service. That’s something we offer them. 
